Prompt: First African in Space

"First African In Space - I believe that there is African american in space if i am not mistaken. If you watched the movie 'Armageddon' i believe there is one African american there...the big bullish guy who danced when the nurse was trying to inject him, and cried during a mental test...lol. I believe this one count right? I'm not to sure whether to say African or Indian or Malaysian, i mean i do believe we are all the same as we were just segregated by our country...inside we are the same, same color in blood, same type of genes (or jeans...lol) and same character all over the world. So i believe the word First Human In Space is already achieved whether you are African or not...mankind has stepped into outer space. I hope i don't sound to preachy...lol...i guess that's what i felt...till the net chapter."

Unedited version...only spellcheck...no topic search before writing...typing whatever comes out of my head

Whaaaatttt....there is actually a First African In Space...lol. Just done my research below...i guess i was to emotional when typing my 5 minute freewrite..lol...please forgive my NON related SENSE.
